I wonder also whether the (deeply unpleasant) creator culture hustle thing of "quoting means the likes/ reposts" accumulate to someone else!" plays a role here?

Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

River drought forcing of the Harappan metamorphosis - Communications Earth & Environment Hydroclimatic variations significantly influenced the Indus Valley Civilization's rise and fall, with warmer, drier conditions during pre-Harappan to late-Harappan periods leading to human migration and settlement, according to analysis of paleoclimate and palaeohydrological simulations.

Successive major droughts, each lasting longer than 85 years, were likely a key factor in the eventual fall of the Indus Valley Civilization, according to a paper in Communications Earth & Environment. 🏺 🧪

Remmeber folks; the only 'victims' of Trans Liberation are supporters of the Patriarchy.

So called 'Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism' is just the Patriarchy repackaging oppressive and hegemonic gender in a bid to keep the system of Patriarchy alive and well. Don't fall for their lies.
